Publisher's summary

Lisa Hodges needs to make a decision fast. Thanks to her dead husband’s gambling addiction, their savings is almost gone. In her early 50s with a large, waterfront home on Nantucket to support, Lisa hasn’t worked in over 30 years, has no in-demand skills and is virtually unemployable.

Her only options are to sell the house and move off-island, or, she could use her cooking and entertaining skills and turn her home into a bed and breakfast. She desperately needs it to succeed because she has four grown children with problems of their own and wants to stay close to them.

Her oldest daughter, Kate, has a fabulous career in Boston - working as a writer for a popular fashion magazine and engaged to a dangerously handsome, photographer, who none of them have met.

Kate's twin, local artist, Kristen, has been reasonably content with her on-again off-again relationship with an older, separated businessman.

Her son, Chase, runs his own construction business and is carefree, happily dating here and there but nothing serious.

Youngest daughter, Abby, is happily married to her high school sweetheart, and they've been trying to have a baby. But it hasn't happened yet, and Abby wonders if it's a sign that maybe their marriage isn't as perfect as everyone thinks.

Come visit Nantucket and see how Lisa's new bed and breakfast has an impact on almost everyone in her family. It's the first book in a new series that will follow the Hodges family, friends, and visitors to Nantucket's Beach Plum Cove Inn.

Short but a great listen

I typically listen to longer books, but love the authors that write about Nantucket so decided to give it a go. Great narrator and characters, just wish it would have been longer.

Sweet Light Read

This story is charming and a very light read. However, the narrator is not great, better than some, but almost a bit tooooo sweet .The various character voices lended to be a bit "syrupy",,which almost sounded condescending. I think I may "read " the next book.

I would recommended this read as it is charming and not to dramatic.

The Narrator...

The book was good but the narrators voice was tough to listen to. Too many ssssss at the end of sentences. And a bit syrupy to listen to.

Narrator

Unfortunately the Narrator’s pitch and cutesy enunciation can seem unrealistic and annoying. I’m enjoying the storyline though.
